It has been a tough semester. The combination of starting a new job and taking college classes has been, well, a lot of work! I am thankful I have wonderful people in my life who have been supportive and who have understood my need to step back, and as they say on Jersey Shore, "do me" for a while.

Some people have not been very supportive - to the point of trying to make me feel guilty for this. As hard as that is-- it says more about them and my relationship with them, then it does about me.

Through all of this -- I want to stress that even in my busiest moments I try to focus on small things I can do. When you're having a bad day - I'm sure most of you can attest, something little like someone cutting you off in traffic can set you off.
So I'd like to create a mini public service announcement.

It doesn't cost anything extra to be nice.

If you are walking in front of someone, hold the door.

When you call someone on the phone, take a minute and ask "how are you doing today?"
